Referencing data found in the IPD

Clarivate Analytics takes great care to provide complete citations for all sources used in compiling
our data so that our clients may in turn cite these sources appropriately. All Clarivate Analytics
databases cite surveys published by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)
in Hyattsville, Maryland. In addition, the Incidence and Prevalence Database (IPD)
provides Article Reviews, IPD Summaries, and Global Incidence and Prevalence Reports based primarily on publications from peer-reviewed
medical literature.
